1 . Ms Keller often said, "Without Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown."
As a little girl, Sullivan was no stranger to hardship(困苦). She almost couldn't see anything and was, at one time, locked in a dark underground room of a mental institution (精神病院) because of mental problems. Little Anne Sullivan would attack anyone who came near sometimes. However, an elderly nurse believed there was hope and she offered to help the child. Every day she made all her efforts to give little Anne words of love and encouragement.
At last, doctors noticed a change in the girl. They had ever saw anger and hostility(敌意) in her eyes, while now they noted a little gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to become better. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released.
Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw hope in Helen Keller. She loved her, played with her until the flickering candle became a bright light to the world. Anne Sullivan brought wonders into Helen's life. But without that kind and warmhearted nurse, how could little Anne become such a kindhearted teacher?
And so it goes. Just how far back does the chain of love extend? And how far forward will it lead? You can never ignore the power of your love. It is a fire that, once lit, may burn forever.
